Why can’t A+R have deals like this.

Got a $50 voucher left that I haven’t touched in 6 months because they’re so expensive compared to importing.

Least if they had deals like this I wouldn’t mind getting less value from the $50.

They have 20% + free shipping reasonably regularly (about 3-4 times a year). Keep an eye out
Last one was June - http://bit.ly/bpoMgQ

I wonder if the price matching includes Book Depository, I bet it doesnt :(

Yeah i wondered that too, most probably not, they just can’t match BD even with free shipping.

nope…..just amazon.com…..

We are so confident that our pricing is competitive with Amazon.com that if you purchase a book from borders.com.au and then find it listed on Amazon.com for a lower price (including shipping costs to an Australian address) then we’ll refund the difference plus 10%!! See here for terms and conditions

No. I called. It only applies to amazon.com + shipping and you can’t use the free shipping promo.

also worth checking out

…and Book Depository still have the 10% off voucher, as well as free delivery…

Where’s this 10% off voucher?

you have made my day. booko goes straight to bookmarks.

Booko is great, I use it a lot… 99 times out of 100 it directs me to Book Depository :)

It’s in the ozbargain wiki.
You have read the ozbargain wiki, yes?

Awesome, awesome site

Thanks! Got two books I wanted, for just over the price of one!

While the Book Depository will always be a winner, the 30% off is great for those Australian books that the Book Depository can’t supply e.g. Popular Penguins. Thumbs up from me!

And street directories. :)

Melways - $61 ouch. (before discount)

Minus from me too
I checked a book I had an eye on for a month and its gone up like $50 to $170- poor form Borders
Its actually cheaper at every other online book store by more than $50

same issue here, jsut last week i saw a book i wanted for 20 bux now its 36…

Anyone know when the code expires? Cheers

Coupon ends 25 July 2010. That is what it says on my order receipt anyway.

Anybody knows how the price matching works? What are the chances of them using some lam excuse to not refund the difference? Thinking of getting the Dragon Ball Z collection set which is only around $150 in Amazon and $300+ in Borders.

Make sure they are both exactly the same items, then read the terms and conditions for the price matching. Also, make sure you factor in shipping costs and conversion to Australian dollar from Amazon.

If everything is fine, get some screenshots of the deal.
I wouldn’t open it though until you get the price matching refund, if they won’t honour it just demand a refund of the whole item.

Got awesome deals for my uni textbooks that are not stocked in book depository, thanks alot
